I just got back from the House floor, where I started the process to force a vote on my bill to restore the union rights that President Trump stripped from federal workers earlier this year. A majority of the House signed my discharge petition to undo the single largest... show more

BREAKING: The House just voted 222-200 to advance my bill, the Protect America's Workforce Act. Tomorrow, we will finish the job and vote to restore union rights to roughly 1 million federal workers. I'm grateful to the 13 Republicans who supported this motion, along with every Democrat.

Trump and Speaker Johnson are trying to block a vote to extend ACA tax credits. Democrats created a discharge petition and got 218 signatures — a majority of the House. Speaker Johnson needs to bring our bill to the floor NOW and save American families from a premium hike.

Golden: America didn’t vote to silence workers. Poll after poll shows that Americans of all political stripes support unions. That’s why the Protect America’s Workforce Act quickly gathered strong bipartisan support. Some good news here: we know that if this bill comes to the House floor, we can win. We have 222 co-sponsors—including seven Republicans—more than enough to pass the bill. But so far, there’s been no willingness from Republican leadership to bring it to the floor. I know that everyone who co-sponsored this legislation—no matter their party—did so because they believe workers’ rights are worth protecting. They know that when workers collectively bargain, the result is a fair workplace, with dignity and respect. And they know this order undermines core American values, and leaves workers open to unfair treatment and political interference. We’re here today—with my colleagues and with union leaders representing hundreds of thousands of workers—to deliver a simple message: let’s just have a vote. That’s why we’re calling on all members of Congress to sign the discharge petition to bring this bill to the floor. The American people are watching. And if every member who signed onto this bill joins us, we can overturn this union-busting action—and show America that this body will protect workers’ rights, no matter what.

I’m proud to have authored the Protect Children’s Innocence Act and the Gulf of America Act. Now, President Trump is putting the spotlight on the bills I’m doing in Congress! We must stand up and protect our children. It’s time for my legislation to hit the House floor for a vote. Our children deserve better. Pass the bill!

Newly sworn-in Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ): “We need to fight for our immigrant communities and veterans… We need to stand up for LGBTQ+ rights because that’s what the American people expect us to do. Fight for them. That is why I will sign the discharge petition RIGHT NOW to release the Epstein files.” Grijalva’s signature—the 218th and final one required—on the discharge petition will force a floor vote and trigger a series of procedural steps before the House can vote on a bill mandating the release of the Epstein files.

After a year of procedural gimmicks, the House is FINALLY set to vote on a resolution to undo Trump’s idiotic tariffs on Canada. The Senate passed my legislation to do so last year, and now it’s time for the House to do the same.

BREAKING: Florida House committee just passed a bill holding teachers unions accountable. The vote was 17 to 8. It requires at least 50% of members to vote in favor to recertify each year. It bans taxpayer-funded union time for politics. It now goes to the House floor.

🚨 BREAKING: The White House just slammed the Massie–Khanna Epstein discharge petition as “a very hostile act to the administration.” Hours earlier, Speaker Mike Johnson called Trump “the most transparent president in memory, probably in the history of the country.” Here’s what’s actually happening… Rep. Thomas Massie’s discharge petition could force a House floor vote on the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which would require the DOJ to release all unclassified Epstein-related documents. If 218 members sign, the bill bypasses leadership and goes straight to the floor. Trump and the White House do NOT want that vote - because a full release strips away their ability to control what comes out. Instead, James Comer released a dripped out 33,000 pages - 97% of which are already online - to bury the real names and scandals. Don’t be fooled: this isn’t about protecting victims. It’s about protecting Donald Trump and his powerful friends - and keeping control over what’s exposed. If Trump was truly “transparent,” he’d let the House vote and release the full files. We must demand ALL the Epstein files, NOW. The Khanna–Massie discharge petition must pass.

I just signed a discharge petition, which would force a vote on legislation to pay our TSA agents, our Coast Guard, & FEMA workers. Our federal workers shouldn’t be held hostage because Republicans won’t come to the table to rein in ICE’s lawless operations.

I’m happy to have brought the discussion of inherent contempt back to Congress. Even my colleagues across the aisle understand the gravity of this. You cannot ignore subpoenas from Congress and not be held accountable. I will be bringing this vote to the floor. I like so many Americans have lost faith in the DOJ. Congress has the authority to restore that faith.

Immediately after being sworn in, Democratic Rep.

BREAKING: President Biden just explicitly called out Speaker Mike Johnson on the Ukraine Funding bill. "Early this morning, the United States Senate voted overwhelmingly by a margin of 70-29 to move forward with the bipartisan national security bill. Now it moves to the House, and I urge Speaker Johnson to bring it to the floor immediately. There is no question that if the Senate bill is put to a vote in the House of Representatives, it would pass. So I call on the Speaker to let the full House speak its mind and not allow a minority of the most extreme voices in the House to block this bill from even being voted on." Shouldn't the House vote? Isn't that what Democracy is about?

I just tried to force a vote on one of Trump's tariffs on the House Floor. But Republicans have now rigged the rules to protect themselves from an up or down vote. I'm about to expose just how chicken they are, and how far they're willing to go to avoid a vote. Tune in.
